I see Carlos Mendes Gomes has confirmed he's leaving Morecambe. Be interesting to see where he ends up, obviously someone that's been mentioned a lot on this thread1

Ok thanks, as you know I dont rate the loss of Aneke as highly as yourself, but completely agree about needing to get into the championship as soon as possible. Thomas does seem to think the valley situation will come out in the wash as they say, so hopefully that will coincide with promotions?. To be fair to be a better person than all that you mentioned probably isn’t the hardest thing to achieve!!😂.👍0

Portsmouth in for the young Manchester City keeper Gavin Bazunu who was at Rochdale last season.
I guess this means MacGillivray is leaving. The question is where? I note that the ex Pompey GK Coach has defected to Ipswich so I suspect it is between us and them.2 -
Think we need to look at the base that TS started his ownership from. The heart and soul of the club had been systematically ripped out for a number of years. His starting point was low. My very humble opinion is that the only mistake TS has made so far is bigging up expectations. Success in football is hard and a lot of things come into play. Usually it takes time to get the building blocks in place, absolutely including the squad. We might get lucky and build the squad we want and need in one summer hit but realistically I think that our rebuild is going to take a couple of windows at least. Every club will and should target promotion and we should expect at least playoffs. We won’t be the biggest hitter in the league but we should be in the top six. We must at least make that count. I’m certain that we’ll be competitive come August and I’m expecting playoffs. Top two seems very hard to feel confident about even for Wigan and Ipswich.6

Daniel Ballard was mentioned on here more as a suggestion, Millwall after him.0

Rome wasn’t built in a day and we’ve not got owners who have billions just to mess around with.Everything at our club is starting to be run exactly the right way.- We are paying sensible prices for good players who want to be here.- we’re not over extending ourselves meaning we can build a sustainable club that isn’t in fear of disappearing anymore.
- When someone goes, their position is filled straightaway.- We are getting good people into the club
- We have brought all strands of Charlton under one umbrella and have a really exciting women’s team turning pro.
We would all have liked a few more bodies through the door (I’m certain that’s true for club management too) but people in the know are saying we’re after the right people so that’s good enough for me for now. 👍2 -

Not sure that's good long term.

Gutted to see this on Twitter. One I’d have loved for us to have him and then because he’s gone to Luton 😞
Great signing absolute baller who will make them a lot of money0 -

It's always been that way in football.
Yet.
Now is not the time to make a final judgement but with training starting next week it's been a slow start. I can see why people are frustrated even if I'm not
Yet.
But things can change quickly on the squad and hopefully for the better.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to criticise Sandgaard's words and actions. He's not God, he will make mistakes or do things others think are wrong.
I didn't like his "blow the league away comment as I prefer under promise and over deliver but for some that would be attacked as showing lack of ambition.
But I did like his buying the club, getting rid of the chancers and investing some money stuff a lot.
I like that he's appointed experienced professionals although I agree there should be an on the ground CEO, I like that he's bought the women's team and I think Adkins was a shrewd appointment. Not sure how Roddy fits in with Gallen there too but that's my ignorance, not an accusation. It's a largely new recruitment team and maybe they are still going through those forming and storming stages before hitting norming and performing. But I don't think they are sitting around lazily waiting for the phone to ring either.
I'm not happy TS didn't buy the Valley and Sparrows Lane but that was and is made almost impossible at a sensible price by Southall and Duchatelet.
Overall, I think TS is massively in credit but now he faces the new challenge of a summer transfer window and with at least two other clubs in this division spending big by league one standards.
The short term panic over the companies House changes show that as a fan base we still have trust issues with owners but hardly surprising given our recent and not so recent past.
So we shall just have to see how TS and his team do over the summer and how that translates into league points.

I don't accept it is either/or - the investment likely to be needed to succeed in women's football is a small fraction of that needed in men's - but the brand is based on a professional men's team with 100 years of history, which is simply a fact. If the men's team fails the women's team can't support it financially, which isn't true the other way around.8 -
Were we really ever in for him? No reports linking us? We can’t compete with champ teams even the smaller clubs like Luton will be ahead of us. It’s a platform most good players want to perform on and why not! One good season and you can be snapped up by a prem club or top champ team.0

He strong and powerful why won't he score in the championship ?
Having found out the reason why his time on the field was limited, I don't believe he will fail the medical at Birmingham. Medicals are so different from club to club.
Heard of a young lad who failed a medical at one Prem club and then signed for another a week later. This happens quite often apparently.
Chuks was superb for Cafc in the limited playing time he had last season.
Bowyer is Birmingham manager and he has got a goal scoring 9 or 10 on a free transfer.
Great business for them and a major blow for Cafc.
Makes Steve Gallen job even harder now.
As the person who asked this question the most last season on CL, when I heard, I personally wouldn't share this information.
Even now that Chuks has gone to Birmingham.0 -
Valley Gary who are the shenanigans site never heard of it.1

nothing has happened to date that disproves that we are or proves that we aren't going to 'blow through this division' - its all about who we bring in, not who leaves - we are maybe behind where we hoped to be at this moment but if patience gets us what we want then that is better than panicking and settling for second best - personally i think TS will deliver5
